Boise Drupal User Group postings

Propeople will be hosting the meetup and providing food and drinks, and we have some pretty sweet sponsorships that we'll talk about at the first meeting, which is on March 3 (more details here: http://www.meetup.com/Idaho-PHP/events/220213395/)

The Peregrine Fund is in need of someone with experience developing Organic Groups sites. This will likely be a long-term contract project, but scope and frequency of work past September 2015 has not yet been decided. A specific budget has been set for this fiscal year. We would prefer someone in the Boise area for occasional on-site meetings with the project directors. Close cooperation with staff developer would be required. The OG site is already in production, but we need assistance with improvements and debugging.

We're looking for someone passionate about wildlife to join our web team at IDFG.

Front end skills and some Drupal experience preferred. Newer sites are Drupal + Bootstrap with a heavy emphasis on web services coming from a variety of sources and tech.

You'll work with our field and research biologists building applications and replacing outdated solutions. Because of the remote nature of our state, field collection apps are via HTML5 offline and native apps. Craft APIs and client-side applications for reporting and analysis by biologists and the public.

We’re looking for bright, motivated, talented individuals who are willing to go the extra mile to make every project a success, and in return, you’ll receive tremendous opportunity for professional growth and development. Propeople develops Drupal websites for large organizations and business worldwide.

The Boise Web Tech meet up tonight will have an informal discussion of a Drupal site discussing how web services and an iOS pilot are being used to provide data collection. The group provides pizza and soda.

The first ever Devsigner Conference is happening in Portland May 23-25, and we'd love to see you there!

Devsigner is a brand new event that will bring together frontend developers and technology-oriented designers and invite them to share their expertise, helping them take frontend development to the next level. We will be using Drupal as an assumed base platform, but since frontend development isn't tied to a particular backend, our audience includes any frontend dev and web-focused designer.

Hey I finally got around to joining this group and just wanted to post a quick introduction. Looking through the member list I recognize a few of you. I met Chris Shattuck and Jeremy Zerr at Boise Code Camp last year after attending their sessions. James Glasgow also put on a module building presentation last year that I enjoyed. If my memory serves me correctly I attended a presentation that Clint Tinsley did on CakePHP the year before that.

In lieu of having an in-person meetup this month, I'd like to have a discussion about what we'd like the user group to be. I remember a couple years ago when we had ~20-30 people attending regularly. I'd love to get the user group attendance back up to that point, and I'm wondering what would make the user group worthwhile to attend.

In the past, we've had lecture-style meetups. Recently, we've had "everyone get together and eat pizza and talk" meetups.

Propeople can host the meetup in our downtown Boise office. We have a conference room where we can do any kind of structured presentation, or we can just meet, hang out, and play some ping pong. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for someone with PHP experience for an ERP integration project with several Drupal sites. To be clear, I'm the developer for the sites, but the timeline is short and I may need some help getting it all done in time. Ideally I'm looking for a local telecommuter that I can occasionally meet with face to face.

Some potential attendees at meetings might be transportation limited or just not want to burn the fuel required.

I'll volunteer my GoToMeeting license to host up to 25 participants. One of the participants would be the presenter; the others would be looking at the presenter's screen and we'd all be on a conference call.

Hi, Boise group! My name is Jennifer and I am one of Cameron's new minions :) I just started playing with Drupal about a month ago so I'm still an uber-noob, but the more I learn, the more excited I get about continuing to learn!

Are we still interested in getting together for the BDUG meetups? Propeople is opening a Boise office and we'd love to host. When we get all set up, we should be able to accommodate 15-18 people in our conference room, which will be equipped with Apple TV (to display things with Airplay) (or HDMI or maybe VGA if you don't do the whole "Apple" thing).

As you may be aware, I've been working on opening the new Propeople office in Boise. It's looking like we're going to be in our fancy new Downtown space as early as this month, but now I need your help.

We need people.

And I'm not just talking about hardcore software developers: we need everyone. Here's the list of positions we're hiring for:

Eye Street Solutions is seeking bright, motivated technology professionals to work with us as a member of our growing Drupal CMS development and support practice. This opportunity is open to candidates at the Junior, Mid, and Senior/Lead levels, and to candidates with a proficiency/preference for integration/development of Drupal modules or themes (or both).

I was talking with a couple other local Drupalers about the idea of having meetups oriented at kid-friendlienss. The idea is that many of us working parents get home and it's lame to bail on our spouses for any kind of meetup, and so we tend to not do it so often.

Anyone looking for Drupal work in the Boise area (or do you know somebody that is)? I'd love to talk to you.

We're looking for an experienced front end developer for immediate hire in the Boise area. This position will require immediate travel (maximum 8 weeks out of town), and future travel is possible (but not required). When you're in town, you'll be expected to work from our Boise office.

Requirements:
- Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS, and Javascript
- Experience with Drupal, particularly creating Drupal themes
- Must be a US citizen

I just learned that the reason we haven't met in a six months is lack of a meeting room.

Let's change that. I have a spot with wifi, projectors/tv, heating, cooling and indoor plumbing. And the price is right. Free. It's at Fish and Game downtown Boise.

So, if that fits our budget, is the second Thursday of the month the day to schedule? Do we want to work in some social time as well/instead? Perhaps a social meetup one month and a presentation conference room style meeting the next month?

Last month we had a great discussion though nothing was planned. We also didn't get around to organizing anything for this month. I would enjoy getting together for another talk about anything Drupal/tech is anyone wants to join me.

We had several no-shows for our virtual training today, so just in case anyone is interested in participating in the training today (it lasts until 5pm), just send me an email at http://buildamodule.com/contact and I'll send you the details.

In "Drupal Immersion", students will be guided through the process of creating a fully functional Drupal web site, exploring essential Drupal modules (like Views and Pathauto), learning important concepts (such as what nodes are, how to use taxonomy) and tweaking the look and feel of the site with CSS and other tools.

This Friday, on June 22nd from 9am to 5pm, I'm organizing the first every Drupal Virtual Mentored Training. We did a beta a couple of days ago that went really well, and I'm excited to use the model for a larger group.

In this training, we'll be using the Mentored Training model (see http://buildamodule.com/train for more info), but using Google Hangouts instead of a physical environment. This will enable people from around the world to participate. And you can use your

I get requests fairly often for Drupal freelancing work, but I'm not taking any on right now. I'd love to generate a list of from folks I know that are looking for freelance work so I can send these potential jobs to people I know and trust.

If you're interested in being on my freelance list, just send me an email with your name, your specialties (development, theming, design, PM, IA, etc) and anything you definitely don't do, along with your rate, or range of rates.

Can someone please write me a cron hook for Drupal 7 Ubercart 3 to update uc_stock?
I'm using feeds and uc_feeds to import product data. All I need is to update the existing product stock field.
I've included uc_feeds for D7 and the uc_feeds-6.x-1.x that uses the stock update. The stock update is not written in the D7 version. After many, many attempts, I just can't write it myself.

I had a couple hours today and wanted to work on something kind of mindless, so I threw together a logo for DrupalCamp Idaho. No problem if the general consensus is that it's lame, or that another one someone puts together is better. I'm attaching a PNG and also an Illustrator version (embedded in a PSD so I can upload it) if anyone wants to make some mods.
